lt.dangle34 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hey guys, I am looking to do a front seat upgrade with as close to bolt in as possible. I have searched but almost all info is for all others but the 280zx....... Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I had seat brackets ordered through werks II motorsport in Burbank ca. I'm sure they are outsourced to a company out in the long beach area that makes brackets. Starts with a W just can't remember the name. Anyway the seat brackets are about $110 each and are completely bolt in. They could probably be recrated for about $50 if you knew how to weld. I had the brackets made so I can use either sparco sliders or bolt straight to a bottom mount seat. If you want I can get some measurements. Just pm me.

vert88 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Dude source out some seats from a 1990-1996 300z, I have them in my car and they fit nicely. with minor mods of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Rsx seats can fit pretty easily without much modification at all, but it's not the best choice if you're 6'4" like me bc they raise the seat height a bit. If you're a smaller guy then they'd be perfect. Edited June 17, 2013 by zeeboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris83zxt Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If the above image works (linking to an attachment on another forum) that's what 2011 Ford Fiesta seats look like in an s130. That was one of the first things I did with the interior back in March or so. I've since ground more material off of the seats so they sit at about the same height as stock, as well as installed new carpet/refinished the dash etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecreatta Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm using seats out of a 2009 Scion TC but it was a far from bolt in swap. Honestly it was a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2l Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I did Honda Del Sol seats in mine and they actually lowered the seat height some...I had to do some creative bracket making though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarang Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I put the RSX-S seats in my ZX. I'm short ( 5'5") and I think they are still too high. Without mods to the seats or car I would choose another seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clashez Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Just picked up 92 Acura gs-r seats and brackets will need to get them re and poster to match my red interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason280zx Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Normally from what I know, you can use Honda CRXs, S2000, and (Z31) 300zx model seats. Corbeaus is the more for sure route to take, I know they make brackets for the 280zx also, they're on the expensive side, but they look killer in the Z. I have Subaru WRX impreza seats in my 280zx from an 2003 model. With custom drilled holes to fit the bolt pattern of the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Male Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 i have rally art Mitsubishi racing seats i used the stock brackets and bolted to a plate wich bolted to my seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvMcMan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I've got some Mazda Miata ones and was going to make an adapter as well... Thinking about going with cipher auto model 1001. Well priced and come in a tan color, not sure about the quality but they have brackets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUL8TR Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I went with Corbeau LG1 seats in my ZXT. The stock sliders mechanism fits up inside the hollow of the stock seats. The Corbeaus are flush. This creates the need for the stock sliders to be modified. Anywhere I could cut to reduce height, I did. The cross bars with holes is what the seats mount too. Cutting the rear mounting holes gained a good inch. I want more headroom, so I will try the Corbeau sliders next. A little research implies I can cut the rear mounting holes like I did on the stock sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 How timely I just got my LG1s today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Even though it isn't finished, my '82's interior is probably my favorite of all my Zs, mostly from the rx8 seats. They look and feel great! Edited January 14, 2014 by zeeboost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
